Let me get this straight, if you hate Kpop & Soccer then don't bother coming to my blog. Cause I'll be mainly posting about the things I like. So it will be 95% Kpop&Soccer and 5% about my life.
2008 gonna end pretty soon and 2009 coming. So let's look back on all the special moment for the pass couple of month.
In this post, I'm gonna pay special tribute to the best soccer tournament i had ever watch! I had witnessed the best goals and trick through out. The underdogs beating the top ranking country and all the unexpected had happened within the tournament. I'm talking about EURO 08. The prestigious tournament ever which sees Spain crowning the best in Europe. 44 years they have waited to win the title and 2008 was their year. Knocking out Italy in the quarter-final by penalty shoot out 5-3 with young prodigy Cesc Fabregas scoring the penalty that sees Spain through the semi-final. Trashing out Russia like in the group stage 3-0. A victory that sees Spain cruising to the final, against Germany.
On the 29th June 2008, Sunday, what the Spanish had been waiting for. Walking along the street either back home in Spain or watching it LIVE in the stadium itself. Waving their flag with proud, chanting, singing or just jumping of joy in the Stadium of Ernst Happel Stadion in Switzerland. Spain was regard by pundits as the dark horse or even under-achiever. But the Spanish squad stood tall, with the squad average height of 5 ft 7, against the tall giants Germany. Height is certainly a factor for Spain if Germany were to play a high ball. No one would ever right off Spain again this time. They claim an early 20min goal by Fernando Torres. An early lead which they had to hold on. Sure some team will want to play defensive. But not this team. They were strong defensively and offensively. Tackle flying in by the German player as a sight of frustration. The final whistle were blown roar around the stadium was heard and very single Spainish player from the bench and on the field ran toward each other, hugging and tears of joy was seen from the coach.
Making another history yet again is Iker Casillas. Spanish goalkeeper plus a captain of the winning side. The first goalkeeper captain to ever lift the trophy. The proudest moment of Iker's life and the memorable day ever for all the Spanish supporter. "Viva Espana" said the commentator and the newspaper. Spain was surely on top of the world.
